Not only do they get the goth-meets-gross [black chicken sandwich](http://time.com/3327567/burger-king-black-burger/) at Burger King, [snake-flavored ice cream](http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/01/27/oh-god-why-introducing-snake-ice-cream/) and a [tear sommelier](http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/02/28/japan-has-a-tears-sommelier/), but now they are getting a KFC-branded fried chicken keyboard, too.
